<h2>Reinitialization of GrADS</h2>

<p>
Two commands are available for resetting or reinitializing the state of GrADS:

<p>
<b><i>Reinit</i></b>

<p>
The <a href="gradcomdreinit.html"><code>reinit</code></a> command
returns GrADS to its initial state.  <a
href="gradcomdreinit.html"><code>reinit</code></a> closes all open
files, releases all defined variables, and resets all graphics
settings to their defaults.

<p>
<b><i>Reset</i></b>
<p>
The <a href="gradcomdreset.html"><code>reset</code></a> command
returns GrADS to its initial state with the following exceptions:

<p>
<ol>
<li>No files are closed
<li>No defined variables are released
<li>The <a href="gradcomdsetdisplay.html"><code>set display</code></a> settings
are not modified
</ol>

<p>
If files are open, the default file is set to 1, and the
dimension environment is set to X,Y varying and Z and T set to 1
(as though file 1 were just opened).

<p>
The <a href="gradcomdreset.html"><code>reset</code></a> command may be
qualified so that only certain aspects of GrADS are returned to their
initial state. The qualifiers are as follows:

<p>
<ul>
<code><a href="gradcomdreset.html">reset</a> events&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>
resets the events buffer (e.g., mouse clicks) <br>
<code><a href="gradcomdreset.html">reset</a> graphics&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>
resets the graphics, but not the widgets <br>
<code><a href="gradcomdreset.html">reset</a> hbuff&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>
resets the display buffer when in double buffer mode <br>
<code><a href="gradcomdreset.html">reset</a> norset&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>
resets the X events only
</ul>
